If Chatuchak Market (aka JJ Market) is the 'die die must visit' weekend day market in Bangkok, then the nearby Talad Rot Fai takes the crown as the most unique 'indie' market that makes it the perfect date location.

There's no greater collection of (purportedly stolen/seized) relics from anywhere beyond imaginable, ranging from the elegant to the prudent, from the whimsical to the boring. An afternoon is not enough -- spend an entire day if you can.

The richness of its culture, the language I speak as my mother tongue, the diversity of sights and sounds, and the familiar yet strange feeling -- these are all the reasons why China is one of my favourite holiday destinations.

Hong Kong is bubbling with energy, filled with city charm, and sounds that are loud enough to deafen you. Situated on China's south coast, enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea, Hong Kong is one of two special administrative regions (SARs) of the People's Republic of China.

A couple of friends and I were trying to think of a good hideaway for the weekend and decided to visit somewhere close to nature: Hort Park. It is a quaint park nestled near the harbor front in Singapore with endearing horticulture and shrubs.

Unlike the concrete jungle of Singapore, Pulau Ubin, or 'Granite island', is a little island off the north-eastern shores of Singapore, where things are kept quaint and rustic. To get to the island, one must first take a boat from the Changi Ferry terminal. The boat ride is short but the water's usually choppy, and it's great fun to sit with friends out on the deck, basking in the sun and enjoying the smell of the sea water.
